Doral police reach out to the community

The Doral police department has been busy this holiday season, with many officers going the extra mile to reach out to the community in December.

Last week, three officers were sent to New York City to attend the funeral of two fallen officers, Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, who were shot to death in their police car after weeks of anti-police protests. Two other officers attended the funeral of another fallen officer who was killed in Tarpon Springs.
